Overview of Juniper Village – the Spearly Center

Juniper Village – the Spearly Center is a 135-bed nursing home owned by Juniper Park and located at 2205 W 29th Ave in Denver’s West Highland neighborhood. Residents stay here for an average of 423 days, a length of stay that shows the facility heavily emphasizes permanent skilled nursing placements alongside its short-term therapy cases. The finance office coordinates bills through traditional Medicare, state Medicaid, and private funds.

The surrounding area is exceptionally easy to navigate on foot, earning a walk score of 95 out of 100, so visitors can easily check out local shops. Indoors, the floor crew logs an average of 4 hours and 25 minutes of direct, hands-on care per resident each day. This round-the-clock team runs physical rehabilitation programs and oversees a shared dining program designed to get residents eating together at meal times.

Health officials monitor the property through routine compliance reviews, and past inspection paperwork required the home to correct issues with medication storage, resident supervision, charting accuracy, quality assurance, and infection control. Prospective residents can call the front desk to hear how management addressed these specific regulatory findings, ask about room availability, or figure out a good afternoon to tour the property.

5 of 6 metrics below state avg

Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes. 24m per day ▼ 51% State avg: 50m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care. 40m per day ■ Avg State avg: 41m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life. 1h 42m per day ▼ 23% State avg: 2h 13m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours. 2h 20m per day ▼ 29% State avg: 3h 17m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Info Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation. 2m per day ▼ 54% State avg: 5m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Info Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent. 20m per day ▼ 44% State avg: 36m per day · National avg: 29m per day
